ALLEGING THAT THE EXECUTORS OF THE MILLION

The New YORK Sun to-day says: The suit OF Miss
Georgia +. Fargo, daughter OF the millionaire
expressman, against Jas. q. Fargo, Chas. Fargo
and Franklyn ID. Locke, the executors OF her faith
ers WILL was begun In the Superior Court yester-
day before Judge Truax. Miss Fargo was herself
in court. She is a handsome woman Of thirty. She
was dressed in black, and during the greater part
OF Tue trial kept her hands in her black mum. In
her complaint Miss Fargo stated that her father
died on August 3, 1881. His will decreed
that his reSiduary estate should be divided into
three equal parcels. One OF these was to go to her
sister, Mrs. Helen Lacy Squires one TO the grand
and one to her. on March 20 all the legatees en-
tered into an agreement that enough OF the In
come OF the estate should be allowed to accumu-
late 10 form an indemnity fund OF so, 900 to guar
antee against any shrfnkage In the estate. the
executors were also TO make an accounting every
six months In February, 1885. the surrogate OF
Erie County ordered that the benefciaries should

was still due her.
Mr.. Cole stated at the opening Of the case that
proceedings for an equitable distribution OF the
estate are now going on before the surrogate that
the present action was uncalled for, and that 1t
legatees. He said that the executors had no In
terest In the distribution, and that they only took
the position OF defendants In order to protect the
absent legateeS
JAS G. Fargo was called as a witness, and testi-
ned that the executors had made accOunttngS as
ordered by the surrogate. Mr.. Forster counsel for
Miss Fargo, charged that the executors had
wrongfully accumulated s43Ooo5O, and that his
client was entitled to One-tn1rd OF that. The case
was adjourned one week.

POwderly's Administration Defended.
WHAT GENERAL SECRETARY LTTCHMAN OF THE KNIGHTS
OF LABOR SAYS OF THE KICKING MEMBERS.
General Secretary Litchman of the Knights Of
Labor said in Philadelphia yesterday that the cir
cuar sent out by the provisional committee OF the
malcontents OF the Knights Of Labor emanated
from disgruntled office-seekers, adding:
'If the men who are at the head OF this move
ment were delegates to the general assembly,
they know that the general executive board waS
In no way responsible for the large expenditure OF
money last year. They must know that the ex-

settling strikes was ordered by the general assem-
suited In the matter at ALL Not only was the fund
set apart for such purposes thus expended, but
1000 OF the general fund went in the same d.
Mr.. Litchman characterized the reports that the
order was going to pieces ridiculous Ind untrue.
1--WE are getting hundreds OF letters daily from all
sections OF the country assuring that the move
ment against the administration is getting no foot
hold in other districts. Chicago and Philadelphia
are the circles In which the movement is strongest
and II the order was to go all to pieces in those
two places the Knights Of labor would scarcely
feel 1t. 1t is but drop in the bucket" He then
that date there's sood

Since July 663 new local assemblies have been Or
gained. Eleven lapsed locals have been reorgan-
ized. and over 1000 have been reinstated, they
having been suspended for various causes.
In conclusion Secretary Ltchman said: "They
say they will not pay the per capita tax, and yet
they declare the work against US shall be done
within the order. On January the general no

obeyed.-The Mount Vernon avenue managers

The Cruise of the Marchess.
Had to Introduce my readers to the most un-
European scene / know of, 1 think should ask
him to take seat with me In a native canoe and
paddle up the graceful windings Of the Meimbun
River. AT its mouth the huts, built on seaweed-
covered piles, form each a separate island The
floors are raised a bare three feet above the
level OF the water, and one needs not better
evidence OF the fact that here at least we
are In stOrmleSs seas. On the palm stem
platforms in front OF the entrance the natives
squat, while around are playing half a dozen
naked little cupldS, now plungfng into the water
now padding races in miniature canoes little
farther and we enter the river, whose water Is so
clear, and pure and bright that one longs to tum-
BILE In clothes and all Close to the banks lies the
market-place, picturesque tumble or ponies,
ripe bananas, red sarOngs, palm-leaf stalls
and flashing spears. Beyond, the sea-going
prauS are hauled up on shore, their un.
wieldly sterns a mass OF quaint carving.
Then through tiny reach bordered by the
Nipa palm, whose graceful fronds 30 or 40 feet in
length, spring directly from the stream and we
find ourselves in a sort Of upper town, where the
houses are built with seeming indifference either
In or out OF the water. The place Is the absolute
perfection OF beauty and untidineSS Overhead
the eye rests on wealth OF verdure-bamboO, ba-
mana, DURHAM jack-fruit and the arrowy betel
palm, with It's golden egg-lke nuts. In these happy
cllneS mans needs grow at his very door, Cold
and hunger, misery and want, are words without
a meaning. Civilization is far OF indeed and for
the moment, at least, we have no desire for It.

Lining Your Face.


The art OF ''lining" the face to simulate the
wrinkles Of ago is one very imperfectly understood
frequently does the amateur performer draw a
labyrinthine meshwork OF thin, dark lines, which
only convey the effect Of a dirty face when seen
upon the stage. The point to decide is rather how
few than how many wrinkles to mark upon the
face. A few broad touches partaking more OF the
nature Of shadows than OF mere lines will often
give an eject which would be destroyed by
any attempt at more minute treatment.
The lines should be made with dark
red, not black. An ordinary water-color cake and
a small brush are the implements needed The
natural wrinkles OF the face will afford the best
guide TO where the artificial are to be painted
although, OF course, they must be varied according
TO the character TO be represented. For example,
in marking the sorrows feet" In the outer corners
OF the eyes JOvtal expression is given by drawing
the lines downward, and a serious or mournful ex-
preston by drawing them upward. IL should
further be borne in mind that II the light is strong
but In performing by an imperfect light the lining
should be subdued as much as possible.
